Kaisa Chirinos is a 16 year old gymnast from Finland. I chose to feature this floor routine by her, from the 2010 World Championships, to thank my viewer(s?) in Helsinki and Tampere, Finland! Below is a small bit of Finnish I got using Google translate, it came out a little wonky I think but anyways, I tried! :)

Hei! Olen niin onnellinen, että olet käsittelyssä minun verkkosivuilla! Toivottavasti nautitte siitä! Tässä on video suomalainen voimistelija, Kaisa Chirinos!

It really shows the diversity that is coming into gymnastics, it’s not just the same few countries over and over again. Congrats especially to Tomi Tuuha from Finland and Vlasios Maras from Greece setting a wonderful standard for their countries.
